I'm not sure to buy civ 5 - Page 4

Speaking of social life or life in general... my wife saw me reading the Civ 5 reviews. her comment..." Oh shit see you in a few years."

She also didnt seem too upset either...that worries me. She also started looking for a new computer. I think she wants me to disappear.

At least she knows where you are and what you're doing!

I doubt that, as Steam has a 'Play offline' function that works fine. Used this for my steam games while on holiday without any problem. Also I read somewhere you need Steam for a one time activation only. Although that will prolly only be correct if you never upgrade.

OTOH, I can imagine that after a while we get a patch that doesnt require steam any more as we did with the last CIV4 patch that contained the no-deo solution.

I've succumbed to the media hype and pre-ordered...

Shabbaman · 09-09-2010, 13:10

Media hype? I would've bought it anyway.

ProPain · 10-09-2010, 12:34

Havent preordered but pretty sure I'll buy it anyway. It's still civ after all.

I don't expect that the civ virus of the civ 2 & 3 days will return though, just can't afford to spend so much time on gaming anymore.

But I expect to be fully available again when Civ 11 hits the shelves around my retirement

I don't know. I don't have the time for it like I had for civ3, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I've figured out that it were all the new features in the expansions plus the multiplayer that killed my casual interest in civ4. So as long as I steer away from those I'm sure I'll enjoy it.

I'm already preloading civ5 at the moment
